24.01.2022 The First World War was the world's first 'total war'. Although large-scale wars like the Napoleonic wars had ranged across many territories, the scale of WWI was unprecedented. It was also the first war between modern, industrialised nations and mechanised warfare saw new and terrifying weapons deployed for the first time, including airplanes, tanks, zeppelins, giant warships and poison gas. Now, during the centenary of the end of the conflict, The Story of the First World War for Children (1914-1918) is a fact-packed information book that relates the unfolding events and the human stories in a way that brings history vividly to life.

16.01.2022 They brought balloons to a school. One was given to every student, who had to inflate it, write their name on it and throw it in the hallway. The professors the...n mixed all the balloons. The students were given 5 minutes to find their own balloon. Despite a hectic search, no one found their balloon. At that point the professors told the students to take the first balloon that they found and hand it to the person whose name was written on it. Within 5 minutes everyone had their own balloon. The professors said to the students: These ballons are like happiness. We will never find it if everyone is looking for their own. But if we care about other people's happiness... we'll find ours too."

07.01.2022 Millie is a young girl who experiences anxiety and big overwhelming feelings. Luckily her wonderful cat Jasper reminds her how to relax and calm herself down. We are introduced to Millie's "monkey mind" who stirs up all her worries and fears. Discover how Millie connects to her "gentle turtle" within to help conquer her "monkey mind". Observe Millie as she practices her techniques to manage her thoughts and emotions as she builds her inner strength, confidence and resilience.... This book is a simple way to connect with your child, enjoy some downtime and learn calming techniques together. Mindfulness is an ongoing practice for us all. Being present, connected to your breath and detached from your mind is where you find your stillness and peace. Children not only benefit from mindfulness in the short term but it also sets them up with skills for life to manage stress, make positive choices and create healthy habits for a happy life. If we can create these 'healthy habits' into their lives from an early age, we can help improve the behaviours they choose in adulthood. We have this opportunity to give our children positive habits of self-awareness, cognitive control, emotional intelligence, self-regulation and a higher tolerance to stress. With mindfulness and meditation as part of their education, we can encourage a greater sense of self, contentment, patience, non-judgement and peace within. As the body becomes more practised in this we learn to live more in our parasympathetic nervous system (calm, relaxed, slow) rather than our reactive sympathetic nervous system (flight, fight, freeze and stress). The importance of these learnings becomes more apparent as our world increases with stimulation, noise, busyness and materialism.
